To Cultivate a Gossiping Spirit.
If you wish to cultivate a gossiping,
meddling, censorious spirit in your
children, besure when they come
home from church, a visit, or any
other place where you do not accom-
pany them, to ply them with questions
concerning what everybody wore, how
everybody looked, and what every-
body said and did and if you find any-
thing in this to censure always do it
in their hearing. You may rest assur-
ed if you pursue a course of this kind
they will not retnrn to you unladen
with intelligence; they will by degrees
learn to embellish in such a manner as
shall not fail to call forth remarks and
expressions of wonder from you. You
will by this course render the spirit of
curiousity, which is so early visible in
children, and which If rightly direct
ed may be made the instrument of en-
riching and enlarging their minds, a
vehicle of mischief which shall serve
only to narrow them.

for every Inhabitant of the United
States. The Kansas Crop
of ‘92,
Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had such bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great crop
and the Banta Fe Railroad has made
special rates from Kansas City and
other Missouri River towns, to induce
harvest hands to go into the state,
The wheat crop of the state will be
from sixty to sixty-five million bushels
and the quality is high. The grass
crop is made, and is a very large one;
the early potatoes, rye barley and oat
crops are made and are all large, The
weather has been propitious for corn
and it is the cleanest, best looking
corn to be found in the country;to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from Chicago
St. Louis and all points on the Santa
Fe east of the Missouri River, to all
Kansas points, on August 30 and Sep
tember 27, and these excursions will
give a chance for eastern farmers to
see what the great Sunflower State can
do. A good map of Kansas will be
mailed free upon application to Jno.
